favor" Of an interview The old rule still held
good That is to say, an accredite reporter would
be admitted TO the doors Of their cells upon
their request. 1t must probably be admitted
that the reporters, generally sEeaking, had not
won the contdorce OF the anarchists 10 a very
high degree and in this hour OF their great
grief the condemned men probably turned to a
remembrance Of some of their long-fOrgotten
prayers and found more consolation therein
than from reportorial visits. AT any rnte, they
| one and all returned the same answer to these
applications. to wit: There is no answer. !"
The hours passed woGrily, if not sadly, with
the condemned men The visitor to the cage

the shelf in his cell tho several little pieces of
handiwork which he has made since his con-
finement, and seemed to contemplate them
fondly, yet sadly. He arranged them before him,
and thon appeared to assume attitude of

which he placed his hands and his occasional
movement of them told plainly that the IRON
hearted German bombmaker had been con-
quered, and was going back to the recollectons
Of an early German Chris tian home and endeav-
oring to recall them for his own consolation in
this hour of trial. The reporter called Chief
turnkey Pearce to the scene, and he, compre-
hending its import, turned away without a re-
mark Engel sat with his face buried in his

To THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.
The attorneys for the condemned mon will
next make an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court. The brief in the case has
already been prepared. The first point raised
is on an alleged error in Judge Gsry's rulings
concerning the selection Of the jury. In tbs
connection the sixth amendment of the Consti-
tuition Is quoted I'm NIL criminal prosecutions
the accused shall enjoy the right to speedy
and public trial by On impartial jury
-, the second point raised is regarding the fore
IDLE search of the editorial rooms of the Ar-
better Zeftlnq. In this connection the fourth
amendment to the Constitution is quoted @The
right Of the people to be secure in their per-
sons, houses, papers and effects against I'M
reasonable searches and seizures shall not be
violated" IL is claimed, Of course, that the
forcing omen of Spies desk, whereby the letters
Of Herr Most were discovered, is a violation of
this provision of the Constitution
The third error claimed is that Spies was
compelled to be "A witness against himself and
against all of the defendants when he was COM
PEELED to state whether not he had received
the famous Most letters The fifth amendment
to the Constitution is quoted in support of this
contention Nor shall any person be compelled
in any. criminal case to be a Witness against
himself"
The fourth error claimed is supported by the
sixth and eighth amendments 70 the Constitu-
ton. as follows; I'm all criminal prosecutions
the accused shall be informed OF the nature
and cause OF the accusation = and Cruel and
unusual punishment shall not be inflicted" On
this head the defense claim that, while q con-
spiracy to incite may have been proved a con-
spiracy TO use violence was not proved, but
that, nevertheless, the penalties Of the latter
were administered.
Tho fifth error which the United States Su-
preme Court will be asked TO pass upon is the
right OF the defendants to preach and teach so
ri alf ha
first amendment to the Constitution is cited
Congress shall make no laws respecting
tablishment Of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof" The'point may seem little
far-fetched but IL Ia proposed TO protect the
teachers of anarchy and socialism by this con-
stitut.onal protison.
